kenny was a cool dude. and very knowledgeable theory wise. i believe he had a medical condition and was a little in the dumps personally, but a great teacher. i also believe he was actually from the chicago area. he departed awhile ago and a friend or significant other took some things said the wrong way and deleted all his posts. internet archive i believe saved some. someone like yourself actually dug it out and reposted it here so some was saved and is probably what you are sifting thru. i personnally learned a ton on the modes from him and helped me to start to take control of the fretboard. i appreciate what you are doing and hope it helps a lot people. i would like to reread it when you finish.

peace,

i don't want to say i took advantage of him, but i tried. he was one of the reason i am still here today. he was so generous with his teaching and really wish i had gotten some contact info before he departed. however i do not believe it was actually kenny, but someone else who went thru and removed them. i seem to recall kenny apologizing for the whole situation before he departed. and that worked for me. for the record, he wasn't an ass!

When he was dispensing information, he definitely wasn't an ass. He was full of great stuff. But he kept pulling the same bullshit:

1. Kenny perceives some sort of slight
2. Kenny gets upset and threatens to take away his ball
3. Community pleads with Kenny to stick around
4. Kenny sticks around and says he's sorry, let's move on

He pulled this shit 2 or 3 times. The last time may have been some sort of communication snafu between him and someone else sharing his account, but given his past behaviour, it was getting old. I sent him some tapes offline as well and we corresponded a lot, but eventually he became too high-maintenance.

He used to be 'd' and DaleGribble as well if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I was gonna say...ya nailed except he'd leave and come back under another alias.

Wasnt there some troll/weirdness going on acusing him of Devil worship or devil music or some such?
I kinda suspected it was him all along, because I vaguely remember these weirdos logging on and stirring up shit about playing devil music and Kenny getting very upset. But then after the 2nd or 3rd time he flipped out and demanded his shit removed, I thought more was afoot then just your average trolling.
The way I see it, once its posted, it belongs to the forum comunity.
Guy did know his theory, though. Aproached it like a metal head. And I mean that with respect 'cause while its not really my cuppa tea, those dudes know their scales.
